Or 'whence coldsync' for ksh.  But I'll stick with bash, TYVM.  If
you're not impatient, you could use the appropriate find command.

SGI make fails with:  

make: file `Make.rules' line 159: Syntax error

GNU make actually runs the build.  But with both irix cc and gcc, the
compilation of coldsync.o fails.  Following are the error messages from
gmake:  

cc build:  
71 errors detected in the compilation of "coldsync.c".
gmake[1]: *** [coldsync.o] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gray/tmp/coldsync-2.3.1/src'
all: Leaving directory `./src'

gcc build:  
gmake[1]: *** [coldsync.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gray/tmp/coldsync-2.3.1/src'
all: Leaving directory `./src'

These builds are with the coldsync-2.3.1-20020318 snapshot.  The
problems with cc are from fd_* structs (a problem I've had before) and
gcc (v2.95.2) gripes about trigraphs.  I'm willing to debug this as time
permits.  I could also send the error messages to interested parties.
